After last year's incredible response, we are so thrilled to bring the Chicago Theatre Awards back for a second year! The CTAs were created to give YOU, the Chicago theatre audience, an opportunity to recommend and vote for the artists of your choosing for the past season of theatre in our great city.

Productions that opened between June 1st, 2017, and May 31st, 2018, are eligible. The first round of voting is submission-based and will close on Monday, July 16th. The nominations will be revealed the following week with voting concluding on Tuesday, July 31st. Winners will be announced August 3rd.​You do not need to submit responses to every category. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. As with any award, the Chicago Theatre Awards are subjective. They were created to uplift and celebrate the diverse artists working in Chicago. All votes are counted and verified by computer.
